National Park of Blue Eye + Lekuresi Castle Tour

We'll meet at Toena bookshop at 9 am, then we'll board a bus to take us to the Blue Eye lagoon in Albania. This site of natural beauty has been declared a protected Natural Monument.

Once we reach our destination, we’ll explore this beautiful area, where you’ll see Mali i Gjërë Mountain and the natural freshwater spring. The Blue Eye spring is the largest among the 18 freshwater springs in Mali i Gjere area. It got its name as it looks like a big blue eye, with shades of dark and light blue. The spring is about 50 metres (164 feet) deep and is surrounded by green vegetation.

We’ll also visit the ruins of Lekuresi Castle, believed to date back to 1537 when Sultan Sulejmani, known as Suleiman the Magnificent, attacked Corfu. The castle, located on a hill above the city of Saranda, offers views of the entire bay of Saranda, the road to Butrint, and the islands of Ksamil and the Island of Corfu.

Finally, we'll make our way back to the meeting point.
